Okay, so no spell checker. It was worth a try! :-P
If we are meant to be only be using short stubbish articles for everything (I have heard some people saying using only the first paragraph of articles), then how will we keep this separate from the main articles? Go the same way as monobook.css and have it like [[Christianity/stub]]? There are little conceptual problems that need to be thought through before we jump in head-first into preparing for this.
Section 0 of every article should ideally have a lead section in it that acts as a concise summary of the entire article. Each of those lead sections should then be usable as concise encyclopedia articles in a single volume desk reference (with maybe an overview also thrown in for some subjects). Selection of articles and validation of those sections would still be needed, of course. Thus nothing need be compromised on Wikipedia.
